Gold,
To be honest, did not see Doggies last week...just think without Prince, Tiger's direction and kicking game will suffer and Marshall will come under a lot more pressure (in only his second game back)...I like the Tiger's grit and never give in attitude (under Sheens) their defence is solid and they play for each other...it will be a tight battle but I just think the Bulldogs halves experience might pull them through!

Cameron Smith is a big loss for the Storm, Gold...hes been in terrific form and Slater adds that extra thrust from the backs so he will be missed as well...tell you what...agreee with you that the Maroons squad dont sound too bad even without Lockyer...question is if Hagan can get them up mentally and with a solid game plan cos the Blues always are dangerous in the last 20 mins and should never be given a head start! Thanks for the stats (again) Gold..they have proven invaluable!
